How To Print Blogs

For anyone looking for a pretty efficient way to print their blogs, I think this might help. It seems like the easiest way to me.

Step One: 
Go into your own blog to find your URL

Step Two:
Highlight your URL and Copy it (Press Ctrl + c)


Step Three:
Press your browser's back button to go back to dashboard. 
Then click "Add" under your subscriptions.

Step Four:
Paste (Ctrl + v) your URL into the box and click next and follow the instructions.

Step Five:
Now that you're following your own blog, you can view it in Google Reader. Find the link to Google Reader at the bottom of your dashboard and click to enter.

Step Six:
Now click your blog's name on the left hand side. 
This will open up all your blog entries into one page. 

Final Steps:
Open a Microsoft Word document. 
Go back to Google Reader and look at your blog entries.

Now select all of the text that you want to print. 
I wanted all of my entries, so I started at the first letter of the first entry, 
clicked, and dragged down all the way to the bottom of the page.

Now Copy (Ctrl + c) and click into your Word document, and Paste (Ctrl + v)

All of your titles, dates and pictures will follow you into the word document.

Obama Gets Back at Trump


To follow up with my previous post, I'm posting a link to a video of President Obama's speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner. It's pretty hilarious, it's basically a roast of Donald Trump.

Taken from Huffington Post (full story is with the video link above):


"No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than 'the Donald,'" Obama said, referring to Trump's claims the same day that he was responsible for solving the issue.

For Trump's decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: "These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir."

Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.

"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising," said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. "I just assumed he was running as a joke."

Facebook Update: Bin Laden Dead!!


I first heard the news through a text message from my roommate: "Osama Bin Laden is dead!"

To which I didn't reply right away because I was in disbelief. But soon my inbox alerted me that NY Times sent out an urgent announcement with the same headline!
The news is true. I just watched the news and heard some background on the story, and about how Obama directed a special unit to go ahead and take out Bin Laden. It was a secret intelligence operation that was in the works since last August. Find the whole story here on CNN.

Quite an unexpected end to the evening. I have a bus trip planned for an upcoming weekend to NYC. With this news and the tension that will come from it I'm wondering if it will be cancelled. We will see.

I can't currently find a site with Obama's live address to the nation about the news. For anyone that didn't tune in, it would be worth looking up tomorrow.
